The last update to the Plan was conducted in 1988. Many of the 1988 recommendations have been enacted, and some are in progress. This update focuses on three key topics: • Resolving remaining planning issues since the 1988 Update; • Identifying and resolving critical new issues; and • Incorporating any new town projects into the plan. This plan is a guide to Harrison’s decision makers on major planning issues and their solutions (or options). Data and analyses are updated where necessary. Following the format as laid down by the 1988 update, this plan provides specific geographically based planning action guides for downtown Harrison, West Harrison (Silver Lake and Park Lane), southern Harrison, Purchase, and the Platinum Mile. The bulk of this plan concerns these areas. This chapter sets the context for understanding geographically-specific issues and actions and also includes discussion on issues that have no specific geographic boundary (wetlands preservation, zoning changes, potable water and stormwater management concerns). 2.1 Changes since the 1988 Update Harrison today is a mature suburban community with a pattern of development which has become well defined and firmly established. The following is a summary of the major factors which shaped the growth of Harrison since the 1988 Master Plan. Land Use Land use patterns in Harrison were well established by 1988 and defined as follows: two densely developed hamlet centers in Downtown Harrison and at Silver Lake, a large area of suburban residences south of the Cross Westchester Expressway, a belt of corporate office development north of the Cross Westchester Expressway from Rye Brook to White Plains, an area of former estates which was being subdivided, centering around Purchase, and a rural area of rough terrain and small house sites in the northwest corner of Harrison. This general land use pattern has been consolidated since 1988 with further subdivisions and the creation of suburban residences in Purchase and Park Lane. A new country club, the Country Club at Purchase, was established on a large estate east of Purchase Street, adding to the open space character of the area. Recent Development Areas By 1988 the predominant area of undeveloped land in Harrison was located in Purchase, and this is where development has been concentrated since. The largest area of recent development was the Park Lane subdivision in Purchase, in a development of 306 single 2-1 Comprehensive Plan Harrison 2006 DRAFT Chapter 2: Town-wide Analyses family homes. In addition, 73 single family homes were developed off Purchase Street in the Hickory Pine (Purchase Estates) subdivision. Natural Features Wetlands, floodprone areas, steep slopes and other environmentally sensitive areas are local features which define the community. They are also characteristics which strongly influenced development, constraining development in areas such as northwestern Harrison (along Park Lane). A number of additional state wetlands were designated in Harrison since 1988. The most recent designations were in July 2004. Critical Environmental Areas A Critical Environmental Area (CEA) is a specific geographic area designated by a state or local agency as having exceptional or unique environmental characteristics. In establishing a CEA, the fragile or threatened environmental conditions in the area are identified, under the State Environmental Quality Review Act. Four CEAs were designated by Westchester County in Harrison in 1990: Westchester County Airport 60+ Ldn1 noise contour, Silver Lake Park, and Maplemoor Golf Course and Saxon Woods County Park (parts of which are in Harrison). Development proposed in a designated CEA is subject to a more in-depth review than other areas. Specifically, proposed development wholly or partially within or substantially contiguous to a CEA under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) requires that all actions be designated Type I and the lead agency either in the Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) or a DEIS (Draft Environmental Impact Statement) to consider potential impacts on the characteristics of a CEA. The airport CEA is the largest in Harrison, constituting approximately one third of the area north of Westchester Avenue. Town/Village-Owned Property Since the 1988 Plan, the Beaver Brook Swamp project (Project Home Run) commenced which, when completed will provide 18 acres of recreation area.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission December 15, 1998, Designation List 300 LP-2027 GORHAM BUILDING, 390 Fifth Avenue, aka 386-390 Fifth Avenue and 2-6 West 36th Street, Manhattan. Built 1904-1906; architect Stanford White of McKim, Mead and White. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 837, Lot 48. On September 15, 1998, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Gorham Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 2). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Seven witnesses representing Manhattan Community Board 5, the Murray Hill Association, the New York Landmarks Conservancy, the Beaux Arts Alliance, the Society for the Architecture of the City, the Municipal Art Society, and the Historic Districts Council spoke in favor of designation. The owner of the building submitted a letter asking that the hearing be adjourned to another date. The hearing was closed with the proviso that it could be reopened at a later date if the owner wished to testify. The owner subsequently declined to do so. There were no speakers in opposition to this designation. The Commission also has received a letter in support of the designation from a local resident. Summary This elegant commercial building, constructed in 1904-05 for the Gorham Manufacturing Company, contained its wholesale and retail showrooms, offices, and workshops. Designed by Stanford White of the prominent architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White, the eight-story building is an adaptation of an early Florentine Renaissance sty le palazzo incorporating a two-story arcade, a four-story mid-section, and a two-story loggia.

ABOUT WESTCHESTER COUNTRY CLUB Three-time U.S. Amateur champion Walter J. Travis laid out the two 18-hole golf courses at Westchester Country Club, just 30 miles outside New York City, that opened in 1922. The courses were built by the Philadelphia-based architectural firm of Toomey and Flynn who built the modern course at Shinnecock Hills toward the end of the same decade. The club joined the USGA on Jan. 13, 1922, several months before the courses opened for play that summer. The West Course has hosted many memorable golf events over its history. Beginning with the 1923 U.S. Women’s Amateur, the course went on to host 44 PGA Tour events. The Thunderbird Classic came to Westchester in 1963, with Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus winning two of the first three years.

  • Bronx Community College University Heights Campus
    Bronx Community College University Heights Campus The University Heights Campus of Bronx Community College, a 19th century gem, is the first community college campus to be named a national historic landmark. Announcing the designation on Oct. 17, 2012, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar called the original buildings “a nationally significant example of Beaux-Arts architecture in the United States, and among the most important works by Stanford White, partner in McKim, Mead & White, the preeminent American architectural firm at the turn of the 20th century.” The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission first designated the buildings a landmark in 1966. The City University of New York bought the University Heights Campus from New York University in 1973 as a new home for Bronx Community College. In 1979, the buildings joined the National Register of Historic Places. In 2012, CUNY completed Stanford White’s quadrangle – first conceived in 1892 – with the architecturally harmonious and technologically advanced North Hall and Library, designed by Robert A.M. Stern. What follows comes from the college’s National Historic Landmark application. It was written by Easton Architects, a consultant to Bronx Community College on historic preservation. The University Heights Campus is a tour-de-force of Beaux-Arts influenced American Renaissance architecture. Stanford White of the renowned firm of McKim, Mead & White designed the campus for New York University in a bucolic setting on a bluff in the Bronx overlooking the Harlem River. NYU’s desire for a more spacious and architecturally unified campus followed important design trends for academic institutions of higher learning at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 26, 2012, Designation List 457 LP-2518 BOWERY BANK OF NEW YORK BUILDING, 124 Bowery (aka 124-126 Bowery, 230 Grand Street), Manhattan Built: 1900-02; architect(s): York & Sawyer Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 470, Lot 64 On May 15, 2012, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Bowery Bank of New York Building and the proposed designation of the Landmark Site (Item No. 2). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with provisions of law. Four people testified in favor of designation, including representatives of City Councilmember Margaret Chin, the Bowery Alliance of Neighbors, the Historic Districts Council, and the Metropolitan Chapter of the Victorian Society in American. The Commission has also received a letter from the owner in opposition to designation. Summary Completed in 1902, the Bowery Bank of New York is the earliest surviving building by the architectural firm of York & Sawyer in New York City. Located at the northwest corner of the Bowery and Grand Street, it is flanked on both sides by the former Bowery Savings Bank, a designated Landmark that was constructed during the years when both York and Sawyer were employed by the building’s architect, McKim Mead & White. While the neighboring facades are distinguished by massive pediments and Corinthian columns that suggest an ancient Roman temple, the straightforward monumentality of the Bowery Bank expressed its function as a modern place of work. The New York Daily Tribune praised the building when it opened, saying it “ranks with the best of our modern New York banks.” Edward P.

  • Assessing Golfer Performance on the PGA TOUR
    Vol. 42, No. 2, March–April 2012, pp. 146–165 ISSN 0092-2102 (print) ISSN 1526-551X (online) http://dx.doi.org/10.1287/inte.1120.0626 © 2012 INFORMS Assessing Golfer Performance on the PGA TOUR Mark Broadie Graduate School of Business, Columbia University, New York, New York 10027, [email protected] The game of golf involves many different types of shots, including long tee shots (typically hit with a driver), approach shots to greens, shots from the sand, and putts on the green. Although determining the winner of a golf tournament by counting strokes is easy, assessing which factors contributed most to the victory is not. In this paper, we apply an analysis based on strokes gained, introduced previously, to assess professional golfer performance in different parts of the game [Broadie M (2008) Assessing golfer performance using Golfmetrics. Crews D, Lutz R, eds. Sci. Golf V: Proc. World Sci. Congress Golf (Energy in Motion, Inc., Mesa, AZ), 253–262]. Strokes gained is a simple and intuitive measure of each shot’s contribution to a golfer’s score and was imple- mented by the PGA TOUR to measure putting in May 2011. We apply strokes gained analysis to extensive ShotLink™ data to rank PGA TOUR golfers in various skill categories and to quantify the factors that differen- tiate these golfers. Long-game shots (those starting over 100 yards from the hole) explain about two-thirds of the score variability among PGA TOUR golfers. Tiger Woods is ranked first in total strokes gained, and at or near the top of PGA TOUR golfers in each of the three main categories: long game, short game, and putting.
